Yes, I'm familiar with this issue. I'm afraid I'm hitting a Kodi limit/bug here...
This is a deadlock situation where the python thread serving the audio is blocked by the Kodi GUI.
So, you try to play a track from the Kodi interface and the track never reaches the webproxy because of the deadlock.
The old libspotify implementation had this same issue but it wasn't happening that often but now with the librespot binary providing the audio, the issue seems to be worse than ever. I will try if I can contact one of the Kodi devs about this.
BTW: Kodi doesn't crash if this happens. Once you hit the deadlock situation where the GUI freezes stay away from all controls and after a while you'll see the "playback failed" message.
